From the village of Kewe, situated between Santa Fe and Albuquerque, to MIT in Cambridge, William Pacheco is creating good energetic (and linguistic) waves in revitalizing his Ancestral Tongue, Keres. With less than 10,000 speakers, Pacheco has been learning linguistic skills and making the right network connections to create an organized approach to teaching Keres, and has had the opportunity to experiment in potential new programming tools to assist his community's Keres revitalization project.
